New dictionary aims to 'awaken' language not spoken fluently for 100 years

In short:

Bunurong elders, linguists and community members are working to revive a language that has not been spoken fluently for more than a century.

Using 19th-century records, they are reconstructing Bunurong word by word and returning it to community use.

What’s next?

The dictionary has been launched online, and community members are now beginning to speak their tongue on country again.

Linguists and First Nations community work together to 'awaken' Bunurong language

After more than a century of silence, the Bunurong language is being brought back to life by elders, linguists and community.
